This version will be the last in the v8 series, but will not be delivered publicly. Its sole purpose is to prepare v9. We will switch to v9 afterwards (v9.0 for initial beta testing, v9.1 for development,​ then later v9.2 for production). v9 will have new build system without abilint, will need F2003-enabled compiler, will have netcdf4/​HDF5 as requirement,​ will allow the input file to contain all the "​files"​ file information,​ and other changes that may break backward compatibility (e.g. remove support for old versions of libraries) ​ ... In this context, modifications that breaks backwards compatibility are already accepted in v8.11.x . The v9.0 is expected early 2020.
